What can we do for you and how can we help you throughout your time at St. George's?
If you can't find what you are looking for here, then drop in to the Students' Union office where we work under an open-door policy and any of the officers will be happy to be of assistance!
The SU office is located on the second floor of Hunter Wing, just next to the bar.
Please feel free to come in and talk to me (Helena Thelin Johansson; Vice President for Education & Welfare) about any issues you may have. I am here to provide confidential support on any matters you come in with, regardless how large or small you think they may be. If I cannot help you myself or if you want another contact I can also refer you to other sources of support and advice.
You can find me in my office, or you can contact me by e-mailing vpeducation@su.sgul.ac.uk, or calling 020 8725 0451 (internal ext. 0451)
Below is some information about the support offered here at St George's, some of the problems you may experience and where you can find help. More information on all of these can be found under the links on the right.

Who can you turn to in times of need?
There are several avenues of support at SGUL; The Counselling Service, your personal tutor and the Vice President for Education & Welfare of the SU are just some of the people you can talk to.
If you want to speak to someone outside of George's, Nightline is a great confidential service, run by students for students. You can call them between 6pm-8am every night of term on 020 7631 0101.
